Multi-GeV Electron Combs from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Chaojie Zhang, Douglas Storey, Alexander Knetsch +16
Plasma accelerators now produce GeV-class electron beams with brightness and stability sufficient to drive free-electron lasers. Beyond this, they possess a unique yet largely unex…
Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions
Aimé Matheron, Doug Storey, Max F. Gilljohann +25
Extreme beams of charged particles and photons, reaching ultrahigh densities or producing intense gamma-ray bursts, are central to accelerator physics, laboratory astrophysics, and…
Precision alignment and tolerance of a plasma wakefield accelerator in a laser-ionized plasma source
Valentina Lee, Robert Ariniello, Douglas Storey +9
We present a novel method for aligning a laser ionized plasma source to a pair of ultra-relativistic electron beams that comprise a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). We achieve…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
Channeling Acceleration in Crystals and Nanostructures and Studies of Solid Plasmas: New Opportunities
Max F. Gilljohann, Yuliia Mankovska, Pablo San Miguel Claveria +16
Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) has shown illustrious progress and resulted in an impressive demonstration of tens of GeV particle acceleration in meter-long single structures…
